The Tuesday “America’s Got Talent” (2.9 rating) and the debut of “Son of Zorn” on FOX (2.6) are the two top entertainment shows in the Live +3 rankings. The gap between second-place “Sunday Night Football” (8.5) and “AGT” is 5.6 points — big enough to fit both of the week’s “Bachelor in Paradise” episodes and “After Paradise,” with a little room left.

All three episodes of “Big Brother” were among the top gainers in adults 18-49 after three days, adding 0.5 points each to their total.

Football-related programming claimed the Top 5 spots in adults 18-49 and four of the Top 5 in total viewers.

NBC’s Thursday telecast of the opening game between Carolina and Denver led the way with a 9.4 rating in adults 18-49 and 25.19 million viewers. Just the 18-49 viewership for the game (12.03 million) would have beat every entertainment show on the air during the week.

The Tuesday “America’s Got Talent” (2.5 in 18-49) and NBC’s “Commander in Chief Forum” (14.72 million viewers, including an MSNBC simulcast) were the top non-football shows.

The debut of “Son of Zorn” on FOX. held its 2.4 rating in adults 18-49 from Sunday’s early ratings through the finals. It remains the night’s top entertainment show.

CBS’ “60 Minutes” (1.0) and the first of two “BrainDead” episodes (0.4) each adjusted down a tenth of a point. NBC’s “Sunday Night Football” adjusted up 0.9 to an 8.4, down from 10.1 for the first Sunday-night game last season.

Final numbers for FOX’s NFL overrun weren’t available at posting time; the fast national ratings are noted with an asterisk and aren’t included in the network average.

Upward adjustments in adults 18-49 are in green; downward adjustments are in red.

Rating: Estimated percentage of the universe of TV households (or other specified group) tuned to a program in the average minute. Ratings are expressed as a percent.Fast Affiliate Ratings: These first national ratings are available at approximately 11 a.m. ET the day after telecast. The figures may include stations that did not air the entire network feed, as well as local news breaks or cutaways for local coverage or other programming. Fast Affiliate ratings are not as useful for live programs and are likely to differ significantly from the final results, because the data reflect normal broadcast feed patterns.

Time Shifted Viewing: Program ratings for national sources are produced in three streams of data – Live, Live +Same-Day and Live +7 Day. Time-shifted figures account for incremental viewing that takes place with DVRs. Live+SD includes viewing during the same broadcast day as the original telecast, with a cut-off of 3 a.m. local time when meters transmit daily viewing to Nielsen for processing. Live +7 ratings include viewing that takes place during the 7 days following a telecast.

FOX’s new comedy “Son of Zorn” got off to a pretty good start Sunday, scoring a 2.4 rating in adults 18-49 following the network’s late-afternoon NFL game and “The OT.” That’s equal to the average for six post-NFL episodes of “The Simpsons” in the same timeslot last fall.

NBC led the evening with “Sunday Night Football,” but the New England-Arizona game’s preliminary 7.5 rating in adults 18-49 is well off the early 9.3 for last season’s first “SNF” telecast. ABC’s broadcast of the Miss America competition earned a 1.3, off 0.2 vs. last year, while the “Celebrity Family Feud” season finale (1.3) rose three tenths of a point vs. its last episode.

“Big Brother” (1.8) was back to its usual numbers after last week’s Labor Day weekend dip. “BrainDead” finished with a 0.4 average for its final two episodes.

Vanessa Williams returned to the Miss America stage after 32 years since her crowning as Miss America 1984 and served as Head Judge. Williams opened the show with a performance of “Oh How the Years Go By.” Williams joined host Chris Harrison, co-host Brooke Burke-Charvet, music curator Nick Jonas and celebrity judges Brett Eldredge, Taya Kyle, Danica McKellar, Kevin O’Leary, Amy Purdy and Zendaya.

Cantrell’s acceptance of the highly-prized crown is just the beginning of a journey that will take her to every corner of the nation during her year of service as Miss America 2016.

First runner-up in the competition was Miss Mississippi, Hannah Roberts, who earned a $25,000 scholarship. Her talent was classical violin, and her personal platform is Pages of Love. Second runner-up honors and a $20,000 scholarship was awarded to Miss Colorado, Kelley Johnson. Her talent was original monologue, and her personal platform is The Health Initiative PLUS.

The 52 contestants, who represented all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, participated in preliminary competitions earlier in the week. Miss Tennessee, Hannah Robison, was the winner of “America’s Choice,” an online competition where viewers were given the first time opportunity to vote for their favorite Miss America contestant entirely on social media.

Miss America Will Return to the Atlantic City Boardwalk Hall in September, 2013 on ABC

Today the ABC Television Network announced a new three-year partnership with the Miss America Organization (MAO). New Jersey’s Acting Governor, LT. GOV. Kim Guadagno, along with the Miss America Organization’s Chairman of the Board, Sam Haskell, III, and MAO President and CEO Art McMaster joined Atlantic City officials from the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority, the Atlantic City Alliance and the Atlantic City Convention & Visitors Authority to announce that the Miss America organization will bring the crowning back to Atlantic City, where it first began in 1921.

This year’s Miss America telecast, which crowned Mallory Hagan on January 12 2013, increased its overall audience for the third straight year since returning to ABC in 2011, to deliver the program’s most-watched broadcast since 2004.

Welcoming the organization back home, LT. GOV. Guadagno said” “For decades the Miss America organization has awarded scholarships to thousands of young women to help further their goals of higher education and achieve their dreams. New Jersey is proud to once again host the Miss America Pageant here in Atlantic City. We are confident that Atlantic City’s famous boardwalk and variety of restaurants, shops and entertainment venues will showcase the city’s vibrancy and attraction to the participants and many visitors who will attend the Miss America Pageant every year.”

Sam Haskell, III, Miss America Organization’s Chairman of the Board, stated: “We are so very proud to bring Miss America back to her birthplace in Atlantic City. We are grateful to Governor Christie and his staff for helping make this possible. Today Miss America remains an iconic symbol, and our roots have always stayed connected to Atlantic City. We now look to the future as we prepare for our most exciting television event ever for Miss America with the support of our network partner, ABC.”

Added Miss America Organization’s President and CEO, Art McMaster: “As we depart Las Vegas, we sincerely thank our friends at Planet Hollywood who have hosted us for the last eight years and the City of Las Vegas who helped us to achieve our best television ratings last January. We will now build on that success and begin a new era by returning the tradition to Atlantic City.”

CRDA, AC Alliance, and ACCVA have jointly assisted in paving the way for the return of Miss America, which will bring tourists from around the country to the East Coast’s premiere gaming and vacation destination.

Details of the 2014 Miss America Competition will be announced shortly, and plans are now underway for the September event live in the famed Atlantic City Boardwalk Hall. Award winning television producer Anthony Eaton and his company, Tall Pony Productions, who have produced the live event in Las Vegas for the last six years, will produce Miss America 2014 in AC live on ABC.
